32 weeks

How far along?: 32 weeks and 5 days. Here I am with Lael and here I am with Ruthie.

Total weight gain/loss: Last time I got checked I was up 24 lbs.

Maternity clothes? I tell ya, I do love maternity clothes, but winter ones are just not my fave. I much prefer the cute tanks and summer dresses that I wore in the summer when I was pregnant with Ruthie.

Stretch marks? none

Sleep: Oh, sleep. I'm still getting enough of it, but it's just not very quality. Getting up MULTIPLE (think about 7 or 8 times) per night just doesn't make for great slumber. The middle of my back and my hips hurt, so I have to keep flipping from side to side all the live long night.

Best moment this week: Lael and I were lying on the couch watching a movie and her bottom was right up against my belly. She said, "The baby is kicking!! She kicked my bottom!" Sweet, sweet moments.

Movement: This girl is just a wiggly, wiggly worm. Her feet kick on the right side of my belly and I feel her elbow on the left side. There are times when all of the movement gets a little exhausting, but I really do love it so much.

Cravings: Love my milk. We need a cow because we're going through about 3 gallons of the stuff a week, and that's not even counting the soy milk that Ruthie drinks.

Gender:Third girl. Love it and still can't believe it.

Labor Signs: No, just an increase in braxton hicks contractions.

Belly Button in or out? Flat as a pancake and one part sticking out just a bit. Got some nice smoothing tanks at Old Navy to go under my shirts because that thing shows up a little too much for my liking.

What I am looking forward to: Got my 34 week appointment next Thursday. It's a lot of work to lug both of my girls and my big self to those appointments, but once we get there it's pretty fun because we get to see my favorite doctor, the one who delivered Ruthie, and Lael always helps her "check the baby". She loves to help Dr. Beck measure my belly.

What I miss: Wearing pants that don't fall down. Seriously. It's a problem.

Random facts: I'm tired. Very tired. That's all I got.

Milestones: We have had this baby's first name picked out for quite some time, but couldn't quite settle on the middle name. We have FINALLY chosen one and we're very happy with it. Will let you know soon what it is!
